Hello, I'm a part-time employee (SPEA fellow) at the City, in the Dept. of Planning & Transportation, and I have a few concerns about the part-time parking spots at Showers. First, is the part-time spots are incredibly far away from the main entrance to City Hall, adjacent to the Showers Red lot (in fact, as far away as you can possibly get while still staying in the Showers parking lot). Now, this isn't a problem for an able-bodied person like myself, but I had a friend who worked as an intern for the Controller's office this summer who has knee problems, making this walk excruciating for him. So bad was it that he usually parked at a meter, for an entire four hour shift, which meant that he essentially had to pay $4 to come to work everyday. My other issue with the part-time parking spaces is the incredible lack of them: there are only 5. Very rarely are less than 5 part-time workers working at one time, so it's really a crap shoot when I come to work (MWF) as to whether I can actually find a space. Many times I've also had to park at a meter. And today (11/29) the PT employee parking signs that designate which spaces are available to PT employees were removed, so some employees at the business end of Showers were parked in what should be PT spots, so there were even less spaces available than usual. I understand wanting to encourage walking/biking and public transit, but this isn't feasible for everyone, because rent is astronomical near Showers, especially to PT workers who don't get paid very much. I live pretty far out, so walking/biking is pretty much impossible, and public transit is highly inconvenient. I just wish the City was a little more inclusive of its part-time workers (especially those with disabilities), and the fact that only 5 parking spaces are available to us (a 5 minute walk from the entrance to City Hall, no doubt) is really disappointing and, in fact, a little insulting. I hope, in the renovation of parking happening in the FT section of the lot, that the City will consider adding some more PT spaces.

Thank you for new trash/recycling system. It is convenient. I don't have to carry heavy bins. No sorting needed. I'm grateful!

I recently became a member of the city's Twin Lakes Recreational facility. I appreciate the fact that there is a paved path along 2nd street to bike/walk to Twin Lakes. But there is not a single street light along the path from Landmark. The parking at Twin Lakes in inadequate when youth events take place in the evenings, so it would be great if the path was lit/safer to use. Thank You.

crows had attacked the back parking lot early Dec 17th. My wife and I cleaned up the back parking lot Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. On Tuesday afternoon I went to Lowes and bought two fake Horned Owls and placed them on my air conditioner units. The next day Dec 20th there were no signs of crow activity from the night before.

Hello,
I am a part of the Adapted Sports Program out of Indiana University. We are wanting to put on a fully inclusive 5K race around the second or third week of April. The plan is to do it along the B-Line trail through town. We are still working on details of the event however we are wanting to get more information as far as what we would need regarding permits from the city.
Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any further questions!
Best,

Every road near the Kelley School of Business is in terrible shape. I bottom out my car just turning onto Fee Ln. from the parking garage. I'd suspect it's from all the construction equipment. I don't see why we should be forced to pay for IU's renovations with damage to our cars.
P.S. the intersection of 11th and Fee Ln. is abysmal, and you know it.

Good day,
One of our insured's employees slipped and fell in the parking lot of the Liberty Crossing shopping complex on January 24, 2018. The address is possibly 2088 Liberty Drive (our insured's employee was a visitor to the city and is not familiar with the area). We are having difficulty identifying the owner of this property. We would appreciate any assistance you are able to provide in regards to contact information for the property owner.
We look forward to your reply. Please refer to our claim number 1340054 on all communication.
Sincerely,
Michele Gryskiewicz
